- sometime the enemy is your friend -
Aurelia POV
Ever wonder what it'd be like to survive? To actually fight for your life ? Yeah me too. That's what I do now. Day by day. Night by night. Year after year, I fight. What do I fight? Well you see, almost 3 years ago something happened and changed the world. Zombies came , and they're still here. It's hard to believe, but it's true. Now you gotta survive. Either alone or got yourself lucky and found yourself in a community. But most fall due to other groups. Hell, I just escaped from my brothers group. He changed and I didn't like it. Yeah I'm a bitch and all but what he turned into is something I never want to be around. So now I'm out in the woods, walking to gods know where.
I was alone in the woods with nothing but a backpack with little food and clothes. The only weapon I have is a steak knife that I stoled from the kitchen of my old group. Yeah I know, no much to survive on, but I can handle it, it could be worse. Anything could be worse than this. I carefully walked through the woods, keeping an eye out for any of the dead. What sucks most is, it's been a while since I killed one. Ever since my brother and I found a new place to live, I didn't go out as much. So it's been a while since I seen or killed one. It worries me that I might not be as good as I used to be. But hopefully I don't run into any of them. And just as I thought about that, a group of 5 creeps walked out into the small clearing I was in. They moan and snarled as they began making their way towards me. taking their sweet time to walk. I sighed and pulled my knife up, dropping my bag to the ground.
"Come on you little shits" I called to them as they slowly made their way. I took in a deep breath before charging at one. I stabbed the knife into the creeps head, killing it for good. I quickly pulled the knife out as another creep reached me. I brought my leg up, kicking the creep back . It stumbled backwards and I walked up towards it. Sticking the knife on its head. It fell to the ground and a creep grabbed me from behind. I pulled my arm back, and turned around. I grabbed the creep and slammed it to the ground. It snarled as it tried to get me. Once it was on the ground, I stomped my foot into its head, killing it. There was two more and I didn't have time to get my knife from the other creeps head. The other two were faster and bigger than me. I groaned as I backed up, not knowing how I could fight these two. The taller one reached me first. I grabbed it and pushed it back. Causing it to hit the one behind it. Just as it got his balance straight, an arrow went through its head, along with the other creep.
I looked around, seeing who shot it. Did one of my brothers men find me? But I quickly met eyes with a pair of blue eyes. I then looked and noticed that he was with another man, neither of them I recognized. So they couldn't be apart of my brothers group. The redneck went and retrieved his arrows as the other man walked up to me.
"Are you alright? " he asked me. I nodded as I walked up to the creep that had my knife. It took me a second but I soon got the knife out. I wiped the blood on the creeps shirt before putting it where it goes on my hip. I grabbed my bag that I dropped, seeing that neither the men have left me yet.
"Are you alone? "The same man asked me. I looked up to him, crossing my arms.
"Yes I'm alone, there'd be more people with me if I wasn't " I said, eyeing both of the men. One was definitely a redneck and the other was dressed in a cop uniform.
"We're from a community, do you wanna join us? " the cop man asked me. I was surprised to hear of another community. I thought I knew all of them already.
"A community? How long has it been standing? " I asked him, unsure of this 'Offer'.
"Since the beginning. I came along after it was already standing " the cop man told me. I bit my lip, shaking my head some.
"Yeah sorry, I don't do well with people" I told him before turning to walk off. I could hear him follow me as I walked away.
"Please, it's not good to be out here all alone" the man called out to me. I stopped walking and turned around, finding him really close to me.
"Why not?" I asked, looking into his eyes.
"Because it's not safe out here" He told me with a little rough voice. I shrugged at his comment, that's his opinion.
"Sorry, I'll be just fine on my own" I said, turned around to walk away. But the cop guy grabbed my arm, turning me to face him.
"You best let my arm go or I'll make you" I growled at him. He quickly let go, putting his hands in the air.
"Just stay with us for a few days. See if you like it there , and if not, you're free to leave" the cop guy told me. Rolling my eyes, I decided to give it a shot. He wouldn't leave me alone about it anyways.
"Fine" I said, huffing, "but I'll leave after a week if I don't like it there" I told him. The man nodded, agreeing with my terms.
"Thank you" he said. He then held his hand out, "Rick Grimes " he said, waiting for me to shake his hand. I looked at it for a few seconds before shaking it.
"Aurelia" I said. Rick raised an eyebrow.
"Aerial? " Rick said, trying to pronounce my name. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
"Just call me Lia" I told him. Rick gave a small smile and nodded.
"Alright, Lia, let's head to the community "
I nodded as we began walking off. The other man stayed quiet, keeping his eyes on me. I don't blame him. I could be a serial killer, which I'm not. But I am dangerous. Very dangerous. Many reasons why a lot of people back at my old community were afraid of me was because if someone disobeyed me, I would torture them until they learned their lesson. Very cruel. But it worked and after the first few tortures, people started to obey me more. Scared of being torture. I'm a horrible person, I know that. But I'm not ashamed of it. Nothing will change what happened. Not a single damn thing. Shaking the thoughts away from my head, I kept an eye out for any of the dead. It was quiet out. The only noise you could here was the sound of leaves crunching underneath our footsteps. We kept walking until we came face to face to a huge wall. There was a gate off to the side where the road was. Rick looked back at me and smiled.
